HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!

No how to do its today. 
We have been busy trying to welcome Spring with open arms.  I love the warm sun on my face.  I loved it so much the other day I got a little wind burned from being outside.  Better then freezing!!!!

We have been making Easter candy for the grandbabies baskets. 
I bought plastic Easter buckts for each one for $1.50 each.  4 blue and 8 pink.  These will be used over and over again and much easier to store then 1 wicker baskets.
Below are pictures of some of the things we have finished.  I'm not done yet!  A lot to do today.

Have a Happy and Joyous Easter and don't eat all the chocolate in one day.  Don't forget to thank the Lord for all your blessings!!!

Flower and Patio Show!!

We had a wonderful day yesterday! 

My mother had won four tickets to the Indianapolis Flower and Patio Show.  She offered my husband  and I two of the tickets and we had a great time!  I had wanted to go, but at $12 a ticket I just couldn't see doing it.  We got lucky and only had to pay $3 for parking.

The theme this year was books and the gardens were decorated to represent different stories.  Warning we are picture heavy today!!!

 Above is the Alice In Wonderland garden.  Just to cute for words.

Robin Hood was beautiful!

The Wizard of Oz was a big favorite!!

There were just so many themes, to many to show you.  If you ever have the chance you must go to this show.  The ideas will just run thru your head for your yard!!

They had everything from ponds to yard decorations.  Just awsome!!!!!

After the show we went to two of my favorite places and had a wonderful ending to a wonderful day!!

New Job For an Old Item

A while back my mother asked me if I would like a marble paper towel holder.  I accepted it for a couple of reasons.
1.   It use to belong to my grandmother
2.   It is marble
3.   If its free, its for me!!!!!

I wan't sure what to do with it at first.  I don't buy paper towels, I'm to frugal.  And I didn't want to deface it in anyway.

I got the idea to use it as a holder for extra rolls of toliet paper!  The idea came to me the day I was stuck in the bathroom without a spare roll.  It seems I am the only one that knows how to replace it.

It sits proudly on a shelf for use in case of  emergencies!

Not a new creations but it is frugal!!!

So Happy!!!!

I am so excited right now!
We finally broke down and got our cable internet hooked up!
Things are much faster and it is such a joy to be able to travel thru the web at lightening speed compared to dial up!!

I know that our dial up and prepaid phone service were cheaper but being on the interent as much as I am, the phone line was always tied up.  Picture download was becoming a chore when it came to my ebay selling and school work was sooooooooooo slow it was awful.  So with a little belt tightening in other areas we have finally come up in the world!!!!

I just posted this picture of my little Victoria  because it is so fast to do now!!!!!

Frugal Afghan

I've been working on a throw for my friend.  And I ran out of white yarn.  While searching for more I found all these other colors I had in the closet and it got me to thinking!  She is always razzing me about my frugalness!  Good naturedly of course!  So I decided she could have a frugal throw!  I just use what I had to work with.  No pattern, no color matching or anything.  Just what I had on hand!

I told her what I was planning and showed her the work in progress and she loved it!!!!  She said it was truely frugal and definitly ME!!!!

I'm sure it is gonna be pretty unusual but HEY!!, I like it!!!!

Frugal Wedding Favor

One of my babies got married over the last weekend.  Thats their little girl in the background.
A very simple  civil ceremony with a reception at their home.

She found these cute favor kits  at Good Will for only a couple of dollars each!
I think they are so cute.  The reception was wonderful and  everyone had a good time!
So make sure you are keeping an eye out at your thrift stores!  There are usualy some great finds there!!!
